Spa will take 90 minutes of pure concentration racing in the wet. I doesn't seem like that there is more traction off the racing line like there should be. I did find 1 exit at Tokyo in the damp where even though everyone said that there were no high grip lines that had much better traction on exit. Found nothing like that at Spa yet.
There's a reason I gave so much warning of this race. I have driven all the other 6 tracks / layouts in the wet. None of them hold a candle to Spa in the wet. Yeah Red Bull Ring is difficult but, in reality the wet conditions just amplify the already difficult braking zones. Spa in the wet is almost feels like driving a completely different track.
Yes the difficulty Spa ramps up to ridiculous in the wet. Just be glad GTS doesn't have puddling. This will also be the last 90 minute race of the series. I wanted to make it a rememberable one. The last 2 races race will be plus 2 hour events.
What times are we looking at for Spa? I'm just over 7min🤣🤣🤣 Just kidding. I'm just over 3min. Can do 2:50s easy if I can keep from spinning on the last turn🤬 If you're familiar with RL Spa, racing in the wet, there are a few places that will always be slick🤫🤫🤫 I testes the Lancer and the Atenza. I'm looking for braking and handling for this one. Speed wont matter...Fatsone. Or I guess we have a new front runner, Qtip👍🏻 The F480 was good if you can keep it under you in those few 'Always Slick' spots. Fastone's car... I 🤬 hate Porsche. But I ran the in-game "Boxer" series and was surprisingly decent. I may run the 911, that may be a challenge 90min in the rain. NSX I was looking at but haven't gotten to it. The 911 will be awesome at Laguna, but I've got the 480 down.
I am running 2:50's flat right now, I dont expect to find much more time, I guess I will have to try to run a mistake free race if I want a shot at the front.
Why don't you find out how far you are from Portland Raceway then. A lot of road course will allow you to drive the track for a fee. It's how they make money when there is no events.
I don't expect a mistake free race by anyone.
We live at the opposite end of the state. My back keeps me from traveling very far or we would go for Indy. I heard Nascar is coming somewhere in Oregon. Not much into that.
😳Damn, why do I ask anymore🤣🤣🤣 Are you in the 911?
Yes he's in the Porsche again. Love me or hate me Porsche is the king of sports car racing for a reason.
I think the Xfinity series is to make a stop at Portland this year. Unfortunately they don't no what kind of drivers there letting out on track. There's plenty of drivers that shouldn't be allowed to have a license.
IMO👈🏼😆 If Nascar wanted to bring fans back, they should have cars start with the fuel the have after Qualy. Ie. Wanna be up front for the start, qualy with little gas. Wanna make fewer pit stops qualy with more fuel. That would make a big dif i strategy. They should race tracks that have infields inside an oval. On Sat. they run infield, Sun. they run oval. Add the 2 races and that's your points. That would make them bring real drivers to the party. This 'Ima go ford, then turn a little left, the goin ford smore'. Do that 300 times and call it a day.🤣🤣🤣
Didn't Porsche and Ferarri ask to have the Corvette detuned a while back so they could be competitive???? A car off of the showroom floor with carbon brakes and dry sump oiling system that pulls over 1G on the skid pad with street tires and cost less than $150k is pretty impressive. I can only imagine that the C8 will be even more impressive, not sure the specs or price on it though, it's hard to pay attention when Mopar is cranking out a car with well over 800HP.
.Not to name drop, but Johnny Depp lives around the corner... he's in a Lambo Gallardo, a
I'm glad I read up🙄 Let me run with some TC and see how I do👍🏻
Ha Haaa, Thanks to Management's generosity, letting us use TC has got me into the low 2:50s🤗 I'm in my imaginary Ferrari F480🙄🤣🤣🤣(read above☝🏼) 👉🏼ThisFuknDumbGuyHere🤣🤣 Thanks CW👊🍻 This Should be fun now👉🏼
So a tiff over BOP somehow discredits Porsche's many championships, overall wins, and class wins throughout the world of sports car racing. Many of these hold the record too and are still padding it.
I was hoping you would make the Blue Moon race being a big Nascar. Especially after missing the Northern Isle Race last season.@fastone371 it was funning racing near you a couple of times during the Tokyo race. Each time my tires were shredded by the time you caught me so I couldn't put up much of a fight! I used softs on my first stint and the tires were toast, so I used mediums on the next two and my lap times were more steady throughout the run. I put softs on again for the last stint just to see how much time I could gain. It worked for several laps, but the last few were tough.
I have conflicts with the next 3 races so not sure I will be able to join any of them. I have really enjoyed this series. A big thank you to @Cold Warrior for all of the effort that you do to organize this
Traction Control has been available all for every race this year.
Thats exactly why the Hellcats and Demons come with mounted drag radials in the trunk along with a nice jack and a Snap On torque wrench, Mopar knew that their customers were going use that 800+ HP effectively.
Now that I know how far behind I'll be☝🏼🙄😆 What's everyone's tire status? Anyone else getting 10 or more laps? I can make it around consistently now, but tire deg is ruuuufff😒😒 Tires may be what what keeps me in the race this time😉😆... Fastone🧐😁
Yeah used effectively in a straight line for a short distance. Sorry but I respect the result of circuit racing more than drag racing. Which is why I'm a Camaro ZL1 fan when it comes to the modern pony cars. The of line models of the Charger, Challenger, and Mustang are all more powerful but, they only focus on straight line performance. The new ZL1s now are faster track than the C6 Corvette ZR1. Can the Dodge Demons beat the 4th gen Viper ACR yet on track.
It's not like you can use a ZR1 Vette on the street either, at least not to its potential so really it doesn't matter in a practicality respect.
The ZR1 Corvette headlights, taillights, turn signals. Oh and it doesn't brakedown every 1000 ft. Not that is watching Top Fuel cars is fun but, a prototype is a lot closer to being street legal.
OK.
Holy pissing contest Batman, you 2 put it back in your pants or get a room already🤣🤣🤣 I'm not sure if you're arguing or playing Swords(🥴🤭😆) The stats you guys are throwing around is killing my high😶🌫️ and it's not even 8am here. I haven't even punished the toilet yet🤣
In truth, any speedo registering higher than you local speed limits is impractical. Why can my car go 160 MPH off the showroom floor but I am limited to 55-70 MPH almost everywhere? Seems like we could gear cars to top speeds of around 80 MPH and fuel mileage would go through the roof instead of gearing them for twice the legal speed limits in most states.
